A lug or ear 14 is carried b v the container top 3 and to the said lug a tube l5 is fulcriimed the larger end 1G thereof forming a mouthpiece and the smaller end 17 thereof resting upon said needle valvell at a point adjacent the port 1?. said tube 15 being yieldingly retained in engagement with said valve through the medium of a contractile spring 1S connecting said tube and the container top 3. 'Whenthe container 1 is partly filled with a liquid the sani(` may be caused to rise through the tube Jand needle valve. 11 by placing the larger end of the tube l5 in the mouth and forcing air therethrough. the rising liquid. being passed in the forni of a spray through the atmosphere. By raising or lowering the needlev valve in its seat and -increasing or diniinisliing'tlie size ot the as devits ends in engagement with an apertureill portion of said top and extending into the `interior of said container. closing means arranged i'n the upper end of said tube. for

' varying the size of the opening therein. a

tubular member fulcrumed upon sai-d container top and having one of its ends projected over said closing means. and a spring connecting said vvcontainer top and tubular member whereby one end of the latter is vieldingly retained in engagementV with said closing means. n
